Political Factoid

Vigilante poll watching groups,*
  • such as "True the Vote,"
    a Texas-based Tea Party spawned group,
     
  • are running aggressive efforts nation wide
     
  • supposedly to catch voting fraud,
     
  • but mainly to confuse and
    intimidate voters:
    - First time voters
    - Unsophisticated voters
    - English as second language voters
    - Non-white voters
    - Non-affluent voters
    - Uncertain voters
By using high-tech computer software,
  • they match data on property records
    and death indexes
    such that they can spot any dead people
    showing up at the polls and trying to vote.
* Heavily funded behind the scenes by
conservative vote-manipulation machines.
